This story comes up on HN every now and then, I think at one point someone from the company showed up and explained how the license is checked before you leave the house and how there's warnings etc. when the subscription is expired. E

I do feel like it has been watered down. Looking at https://www.ycdb.co/ you can see the batch sizes has grown quite a lot. When I see something like "YC W20" or "YC S18" now in a title, it is basically

>Does "highly centralized" mean a "few hundred nodes" to you? Yes and no. I think the important part here is that running a node on these networks is prohibitively expensive (costing thousands of dollars per month). T

The most common way it works is that a snapshot of all holders of the governance token is taken at a certain point in time and a proposal is made, which all holders in the snapshot are able to vote on by signing their response. Blender alre

That looks great, it's a pet peeve of mine that it's difficult to format languages that are encased in another language. Most (all?) editors are only expecting a single "language" in a file. You have a js file? Must cont

Completely subjective answer, but I suspect it's borne out of a need or necessity. 3D modelling/animation prior to Blender was really dominated by a few key players who were seemingly not afraid to be user hostile, or charge huge

Is it a dismissal or is it someone asking for affirmation on their understanding of the product? I think it can be read both ways.

I think it's discussed only where it's considered "on-topic". In my experience, many politcal articles are quickly removed as off-topic unless there's some technological bend to it. For example, politics in a thread

If anyone else is wondering what the AD stands for in "Next Generation AD" it's "algorithmic differentiation".

I've been lurking on HN for about the last 8 years or so but only a few years ago made an account and I sparsely comment. Only a couple of weeks ago was my account considered worthy of being able to vote down. Meanwhile I've seen

People try to make the argument that Twitter and (maybe to a lesser extent) Facebook are akin to a "town square", whereas I don't think people consider the HN comments section a "town square".

I've always admire YouTuber AvE's ability to string together seemingly off-the-cuff sentences which I would never think of but make perfect sense upon reflection. I'm sure there's many reasons for this ability, but it&#x

It's not FTL communication but the 1/c answer is misleading, it's 1m/c and that's because the bulb is 1m away from the switch, so the information propagates at the speed of light, not faster.

The timing of this article is one of those "deja vu" moments as I was only reading about Mount Bromo[1] yesterday out of interest on the "volcanic human sacrifice" trope. There is also some (?:folk)lore about pre-columbi

Based on this, it should be expected that the 2% figure you quoted would increase over time. I would say in Australia a lot of people are still in the "honeymoon phase" of immunity where it hasn't started to significantly wan

Adoption of a fork by it's nature essentially requires there be a "liquidation event". If every single BTC user is on board then that's an "easy" game to play, you simply pick a date and coordinate with everyon

Being manipulated by "SEO hacking" tactics IS a Google problem (or search engine problem) to solve. Even as far back as the 90s many sites were putting "invisible" paragraphs in their pages to boost site ranking with oft

There seems to be a bit of an overlap with software that is written by academics and asking for citation. I am vaguely remembering one of the awk* variants (or something like that) does something similar every time you have to run it, unles

You can fork BTC to do whatever you want, but it doesn't come with liquidity. In other words, a fork doesn't come with the same amount of inertia.

"which" is also not available everywhere, that's how I know about "command -v".

You can use command -v in any POSIX compliant shell. csh is not POSIX compliant. Your list of shells in inexhaustive to the point of being almost misleading. bash and zsh are "heavy-weight" shells, a lot of lightweight shells also

I don't invest in US markets, but of the equivalent index here, the contrarian fund this past financial year has certainly outperformed the index. Though it almost seems like luck. If you had asked me 2 years ago, my contrarian funds w

Anecdotally, I have investments in both traditional managed funds and contrarian managed funds. It seems to take longer for the contrarian funds to "strike gold" and overall they have not done better than my traditionally managed

Not a cinematography buff but these shots are still impressive when you try to wrap your head around them. I wish there were a breakdown as to how these kinds of shots were done using the technology they had at the time. Edit: This tweet[1]
